    About a year ago, I was lucky enough to win a Bettinardi putter. I chose the putter from the Bettinardi web site, unable to "touch and feel". Betti was one of the best feeling putters I have ever used. The F.I.T. milling put a fantastic roll on the ball. Two issues seemed to prevail. One, the putter was very heavy. I could never get distance control dialed in. Second, just using the putter the first one or two rounds, you could already see wear on the F.I.T. grooves. I'm anal about my golf equipment. Don't want any scratches, mars, bag chatter, etc. The miniscule mars on Betti's grooves drove me nuts.
    Stopped by my friend's golf shop today to peruse his used stuff. Still looking for a good set of irons with graphite shafts. He had recently brought in a Toulon blade which was what I went back to see. Right beside it was this Cameron Select 2.5. I've been playing my Anser 4's more than my mallets. Buddy at the shop made what I thought was a fair deal for the Betti. Everyone is happy... at least until the weather clears and we have the new Cameron on the course.
     
    Every time I ever tried one of those Scotty's in the store I could not miss a putt. Told myself the practice green in the store was fixed to keep me from buying them. Last summer one of my friends who runs the golf shop had a Scotty almost identical to yours that looked brand new. He offered it to me for $100 after letting me try it a couple rounds. I couldn't putt worth a darn with it so didn't take him up on it. I'm sure it was the nut on the handle that wasn't working and not the rest of the putter.

    I still have my Scotty GoLo. She works part time. Deserves the minimum wage she earns. Lately, the Anser 4's have been my go to putters. Scotty blades I've had in the past were all the Anser copies or the MyDay copy... Newport or Laguna. We'll see how we get along. Was really difficult to see that beautiful Betti sitting in the basement. Wasn't fair to her or me. She needs a home with someone who will give her outside air to breathe. Had forgotten about the Newport 2.5's and how close they are to the Anser 4's. That's what struck me about this one.
     
    Hope it works for you. Maybe shoot your age every time out?
    Only 11 rounds so far in January. Ice today and course closed. Cold weather predicted the next week or so. Short game is first to go south. Will take some time to see if this reacts like a "magic wand" or a "rusty piece of galvanized pipe"! Sure works well on a rug in the basement. But... so has a dozen putters before it!!!!
